Lincoln Memorial Mural, Lexington, Kentucky

Here's a pretty multi-view postcard of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC.

The Lincoln Memorial features a majestic sculpted figure of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th US President, seated, thoughtfully reflecting upon the course of the nation.

It is truly one of the capital's magnificent landmarks.


And HERE is a street level view of a 60-foot (18m) psychedelic, kaleidoscopic, patriotic Abraham Lincoln mural in Lexington, Kentucky.

I would certainly call this street art majestic and magnificent, also!

Wall Mural



I just spotted this beauty the other day in Belleville, Illinois.

Isn't it awesome?

The wall mural, I mean, not the trash can or the car.

There should be an annual National Awesome Wall Mural Day dedicated to celebrating awesome wall murals.

I Love Lucy, Part 2


Two more impressive murals!

This one features another episode from the "I Love Lucy" tv show, entitled "Lucy Does a TV Commercial".

The episode goes like this:
During multiple takes for a commercial, Lucy must repeatedly taste the product called Vitameatavegamin , a nutritional elixir.  The results are pretty hilarious.




Here's a full color postcard featuring an almost, but not quite, identical scene as the mural.









This next black and white mural is of Lucy and Ricky, again, of the "I Love Lucy" tv show.  Lucille Ball (Lucy) and Desi Arnaz (Ricky) not only played a married couple on tv, but were married to each other in real life, also.

I Love Lucy, Part 1


I recently visited the hometown Lucille Ball in Jamestown, New York. So, I have some cool goodies to share!

First off, there are several great murals scattered about town, all related to the "I Love Lucy" tv show (1951-1957).

This one here is wonderfully gigantic. It's in full color (even though the show itself was in black & white), and features a scene from the 1955 "California, Here We Come" episode.


 Here is a black-and-white postcard of the same scene for comparison. Pretty good reproduction!

That's all for today. Happy November!
